Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Often ATC requires estimates which are not always just the next waypoints.

Describe the solution you'd like
The app could show an additional line on the flight plan where are calculated:

  • distance to the specific WP;
  • time to the specific WP.

Describe alternatives you've considered
At the moment the only way is to click a lot of times to get the flight plan (we all know that in while flying, a distraction could be fatal). The solution could be:

  1. Getting the flight plan only with 1 tap on the top of the screen (where we can see the next WP and the destination);
  2. For each WP see also an additional line with the estimate in distance and time, from the current position.

Additional context
As said, often ATC asks estimates not necessarily to the next WP, but also after 3 or 4 WPs. This requires a distraction in pulling the flight plan from EFN menu and make a mental rough calculation.
I know that a pilot must have the flight plan on the knee board with everything needed, but this could be a wonderful feature.
